As much as I want to believe/say how "unbelievable" this story is...I cant help but think that this seems about par for the course these days. NOTHING is ever the kids fault anymore--blame the environment, an illness, someone else...parents are just as much to blame for this kind of shite. No...they are MORE to blame.

Holy shite...what is wrong with people these days? Are you kidding me? A guy gets his home absolutely trashed and not even the PARENTS have the decency to get their kid out there to help clean up for a VETERANS PICNIC?

I agree with someone who already said it...frick that entire community. If I was him, I would pack my shite up and leave.

Oh yeah, and I would go ahead and press charges against the kids whose identities have been confirmed. Threaten with a little jail time and you can bet your arse they'll give up the rest who haven't been identified.

This guy's intentions were good, but he isn't helping these kids one bit. He would do more for the kids if he actually held them accountable and pressed charges. The parents certainly aren't going to hold their kids accountable.

Your response FTW. If that was one of my two boys, I know that they would not be able to sit down for a couple of days.

As a lawyer, I'm ashamed of any attorney would take the parents case. "Your child breaks various laws, puts evidence on social media, and you want to file a claim against homeowner to protect your wonderful child's future? Get the hell out of my office and go be a parent & get involved in your kids' live. Be a PARENT and not their buddy!" POS
